1 Reclaim Tanks How to use a Reclaim tank to improve your bottom line and protect the environment What is a Reclaim tank? A Reclaim tank is used to return useable fuel drained for QC inspection, back to storage for reuse. The tank is designed to allow waste (sediment and water) to settle out to and be drained away while the clean fuel is returned to storage. What are the savings? 1. Sell/use fuel rather than pay to have it disposed as HazMat 2. Reduce cost for disposal of waste fuel (HazMat) 3. Eliminate risk and cost to store waste fuel on site 4. Reduce the reporting fees to the Department of Environmental Quality Reclaim Tanks nata Safety 1ST PROFESSIONAL LINE SERVICE TRAINING 2008 Page 1 of 2 Information provided by Air BP Aviation Services Reclaim Tank SavingsSample ASample BSample BNumber of Fuel Tanks233 Number of Fuel Trucks246 Gallons sumped per tank/truck555 Total fuel sumped:per day203545""per month60010501350""per year72001260016200 Cost of Fuel with all taxes$ $ $ Cost Savings Per Year$27, $47, $60, Fuel Disposal Costper Gal.

A check valve and ball valve would be installed in this line. This would allow the clean fuel to be drawn through the product pump and returned to storage. The size of the Reclaim tank should match the needs of your operation, and are available in 15, 30, or 50 gallon capacity. The Reclaim tank would be anchored and bonded to the fuel system.
